Amazon KindleThe Perfect Cruise Accessory

The Kindle may just be the hottest gift this winter. Its super thin, lightweight design and the fact that it comes with 3G wireless coverage in over 100 countries makes KindleAmazon Kindle the ideal gift for readers on the go. Plus, since it holds up to 1,500 books it helps eliminate clutter. Two features I really like – its “read-to-me” option turning text into speech and it comes with a built-in dictionary!
